About

Jens Walter is a Professor of Ecology, Food, and the Microbiome at University College Cork, Ireland. His research focuses on the interactions between the gut microbiome and diet, specifically how dietary fibers and microbial communities influence health outcomes such as obesity, allergy, and metabolic diseases. Recent publications include studies on microbial sharing among siblings, intestinal pH effects on microbiota, and the role of gut microbes in nutrition and disease prevention.
